Just a quick post today.... about three weeks left until beta release and I've just finished the spellcasting system. There are 50 odd spells to choose from , most of them are your standard fireball / poison blast attacks but there are some nice particle effects as this video shows.

Spellcasting can be a powerful path in S&S3 , it forces melee fighters to close the distance quickly or risk being incincerated or hurled around like a rag doll. The beta test will be all about balancing the game so that one path is not hideously overpowered.
As a side note, this is the last game I'll be making using Actionscript 2 I think :) It really chugs the processor with all the special effects - since I started it last year it was just too much work to recode it in AS3. Have to wait till the next one for that hehe.
Enjoy, not long to wait now I promise !
Cheers Oliver
